Unstuck - An Audacious Hunt for...

Rachael Herron

Get ready to become delightfully unstuck. 
Bestselling author Rachael Herron is stuck. She and her partner have lived in their beloved East Oakland home for 15 years, almost as long as they’ve been married. But the house is in a rough area, and they’re tied to a mortgage she’s not sure they’ll ever be able to pay off.   
So when the whispered longing for adventure grows into a bellow she can’t ignore, Rachael decides to utilize not only her dual citizenship but also her impulsive nature.  
She and her partner will abandon their standard-issue American life and move to the far-distant shores of Aotearoa.  
It’ll be easy, she thinks. It’ll be fun! They’ll ditch the mortgage and pack a couple of bags, traveling light and fast to find a new life. She’ll say goodbye to everyone she knows and loves, board the plane using a one-way ticket, and surely, that will solve everything.  
But even though she hasn’t bargained on the difficult realities behind relocations made with no final destination in mind, she can’t begin to imagine the untold surprises that will unfurl along her way.  
“Herron’s jaunty prose will have readers breezily flipping through the pages as she enriches the narrative with indelible metaphors. This true story shows that making a big move can be a daunting but worthwhile and fascinating endeavor.”—Kirkus Reviews  
In this no-holds-barred love story, a delightful cross between Eat, Pray, Love and Under the Tuscan Sun, Rachael chronicles the messy, enchanting, and growth-demanding challenges of relocation and personal resurrection. 
“The story of Herron’s move to the other side of the world in Unstuck made me feel EVERYTHING: curiosity, grief, transformation and joy. I LOVED every moment of this glorious, heart-warming book.”—Monna McDiarmid, author of After Everything

My Secret Life Vol 2 Chapter 5

Dominic Crawford Collins

My Secret Life, the anonymously written erotic memoirs of a Victorian English gentleman who refers to himself simply as 'Walter' is one of the most idiosyncratic and prurient books ever written. In this vast autobiographical confessional the author recounts, in meticulous detail, his sexual exploits throughout the course of a life devoted entirely to the pursuit of carnal pleasure. Through this compelling exploration of the author's sexual behaviour we are left with a uniquely entertaining insight into life behind the closed doors of Victorian society. My Secret Life is funny, sorrowful, suspenseful, compulsively readable, obscene, titillating, exciting and erotic...in it we are privy to the thoughts, emotions and memories of one of the most unusual, unsung and colourful English eccentrics of the Victorian era.

Now, for the first time, the complete unabridged version of this unique text is being narrated and scored by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins as an 'audiofilm' (an audiobook in which the emotional landscape is explored through the music score). Each chapter of My Secret Life will be released at monthly intervals over the next ten to fifteen years culminating in what is likely to become the longest audio book ever to be produced.

Twelve Years a Slave

Solomon Northup

"They can take your freedom, but they cannot take your identity."

In 1841, Solomon Northup was a professional violinist and family man living in Saratoga Springs, New York. After being lured to Washington D.C. with the promise of work, he was drugged, shackled, and stripped of his name. For the next twelve years, he was passed from master to master in the bayous of Louisiana, enduring the sadistic cruelty of men like Edwin Epps while witnessing the quiet heroism of his fellow enslaved people. Twelve Years a Slave is a visceral, unflinching look at the "peculiar institution" through the eyes of a man who knew both the dignity of liberty and the agony of the lash. It remains a foundational text of American history and a testament to the endurance of the human spirit.

The Mechanics of Oppression: Northup provides a meticulous, almost journalistic description of the economics and daily operations of the slave trade. He details the cultivation of cotton and sugar, the social hierarchies of the plantation, and the psychological warfare used to keep human beings in subjection.

A Quest for Justice: The narrative is propelled by Northup's secret attempts to communicate with his family in the North. His eventual rescue is a heart-stopping moment of tension and triumph, highlighting the legal and social complexities of a divided nation where a man's status as "property" or "person" could depend entirely on the color of his skin and the geography of his location.

Why It Is a Vital Classic: While many narratives were edited to suit political agendas, Northup's account is praised for its stark realism and descriptive power. It provides names, dates, and locations that were later verified by historians, making it one of the most credible and devastating indictments of slavery ever written.
